Nature vs. Belief
In this writing, Bruce Di Marsico addresses the attitude: “I should have known better. I’m such an idiot, I’m such a loser, I’m so stupid, I’m so lame”.
The core belief behind “I should have known better” is a person’s belief that their not having known something earlier in time than they actually did is a sign that there is something inherently wrong with them. For example, if such a person made an investment that failed, they would feel that they have proof that something is wrong with them that they did not know that the investment would fail before they made the investment.
The core belief behind “I’m such an idiot, I’m such a loser, I’m so stupid, I’m so lame” is a person’s belief that they have evidence that there is something structurally wrong with them, something that has always been there and will always be there, as opposed to mere evidence that they didn’t know something—and now they do.
